I've read Goodnight Moon almost every night for the past two years. It's a wonderful book which my son enjoys. Here are some of my issues with the bedroom depicted in it. 1. The Size of the Bedroom This bedroom is enormous. There is no one, I think, who has not noticed this. As someone…

So, for a photo styling of a vacant, investor-flip, you put a set of spices on a magnetized strip on the hood over the cooker. It's now fixed to the appliance. Bad staging idea? When the buyers arrive, it's not there. Yet it looked part of the appliance - in the photo. (A better one than this, admittedly.) What do my staging colleagues think?

I cannot believe how fast River city is growing! It's great for them, but I worry which area is losing people as a result and hoping it's not Arlington. Such a great neighborhood, and Regency Mall is NOT helping them one bit!﻿

I have my own favorite home stagers in NYC (+Debbie Oulvey ) yet I have to admit there are some very clever ideas here. I love the taping flokati rugs together to get a bigger rug for not a crazy amount of money.

And then, buying 2 inexpensive dining tables and cutting the legs down to make a giant coffee table - that no-one has in stock, nor wants to store - priceless!!

That "Visual content generates 94% more views than text based posts" is ideal for realtors... split up the photos from each listing, add a new piece of intel using a site like http://picmonkey.com (though Facebook and G+ both have image editors built-in to mobile apps now) qand share out on social platforms.

When you read that Twitter campaigns can have repeated content 3 - 7 times a day, and Google+ 3 - 7 times a week, those professional photos that you have paid $65 - $250 for become 18 - 30 very nice, usuable content marketing assets! Cool beans. #stagers too.

Get more bounce from your post, but making the meta- title have ‘why’/key phrase along with a trigger/call-to-action, and then outline the article’s benefit(s) to its readers. I usually do that in the description. Never occurred to me to do it in the title. Will have to test that next week. Anyone else had good results with it?

My "greatest strength is giving identity to those people who seek it", said my horoscope on 1/1/11. Yup! That's me. Hence social media and content creation as my current way of serving businesses.

A newly minted US citizen, my family and I have just relocated to Jax (Jacksonville, FL) yet I started out in England, where I was your basic boarding school rebel. I came to the US for college and then spent years in NYC meandering thru finance, real estate, corporate event planning, trade show & convention promos and then lots of marketing and promotion; now I combine the lot online.

All this for a former NYC [auxiliary] police officer, voice-over artist and troupe member of the Royal Court Theater. (a very smelly, off-off-off Broadway black box theater on 55th & 8th, underneath the neighborhood fish shop! The smell was only marginally worse than the "auteur" who wrote, produced, directed and starred in every production - always murder mysteries - and never bothered to learn the lines, since she wrote them, she figured she could make up whatever she didn't know. No two nights was the script ever the same. That anyone attended at all was a miracle! And yet they did. Loyally, for every new "show" and without nose pegs!!!!)

Writer of monthly Home Profiles in Jacksonville Magazine.
Write and SEO a Real Estate Blog for 2 home stagers, an architect, a real estate photographer and a business broker - in New York City, Chicago and Jacksonville, FL.

Nick is professional, polite, punctual, reliable and does a great job with his photos. That he does all of his own editing and still can turn a set of photographs around on the same day is remarkable. I have had a chance to see a lot of real estate photographers over the years, and Nick is a serious contender.
You can't go wrong using his services.
